The CEU value for the course may vary depending on the number of days/hours.  The workshop may run a single day or 1.5 days.

Coaching Summit

The coaching summit is held every even numbered year and generally is held in Colorado Springs.

The coaching summit allows coaches from across the country to come together to share.  The topics are usually those that are not covered in enough depth at the coaching clinics or that are popular enough to warrant inclusion. Speakers in the past have included Randy Wilber, PhD, FACSM, Max Testa, MD, Jamie Staff, Dean Golich, Hunter Allen, Allen Lim, PhD, Inigo Mujika, PhD, and Istvan Balyi.
